Listening to Daughter-in-law

Chapter 7 Autumn Harvest

The days passed quickly by Qin Zhong, and in a blink of an eye it was the autumn harvest day. On this day, Zhang Dahu got up early as usual, but the trouble was that Qin Zhong also got up, rubbing his eyes and brushing his teeth not soberly. Wash your face, "Daughter-in-law, why are you getting up! Don't sleep for a while!"

"No! Aren't you going to harvest wheat today! I'll help you!" Qin Zhong said!

"I don't want you to go! It's just a little bit of wheat. I harvested it by myself in previous years. Go back to sleep!" Zhang Dahu looked at Qin Zhong dozing off while sitting with distressed heart!

"Isn't there me this year! I can't always eat and don't work! Then those three aunts and six wives will still spit on me behind my back!" When dealing with the villagers, I found that Zhang Dahu was a piece of cake in the hearts of the villagers. Treasure!If Zhang Dahu only wanted to marry a man, those girls would marry him!

"You don't care what they do!" Zhang Dahu added a bowl of porridge to him!

"Don't talk about this! Hurry up and go after eating! Fortunately, the autumn harvest is not long!" Qin Zhong drank the porridge wholeheartedly!

Just arrived in the field, Qin Zhong was still excited!It's the first time I go to the field, and I'm officially a farmer!Cute wheat, here I come!

At the beginning, despite Zhang Dahu's persuasion, Qin Zhong insisted on reaping with Zhang Dahu with a sickle!Seeing that Zhang Dahu didn't listen, he gave Qin Zhong to cut the wheat with his hands, and repeatedly told him, don't ask for speed, and don't cut yourself!In the end, the impatient Qin Zhong drove him away, and he stopped!

After holding it for a while, Qin Zhong slowly got up with his waist supported, oh, my waist, look at the front, Zhang Dahu has already brought down a large piece!At this time, the sun was already very strong, the sweat flowed like water, and the wheat leaves slid across the naked skin!Itchy and a little tingly!Qin Zhong was wearing Zhang Dahu's old clothes, which were already big and folded several times, and now they were soaked in sweat, making them even heavier!Qin Zhong sighed, "This farmer can be a farmer if he wants to!" Zhang Dahu in front of him seemed to have eyes behind his back, Qin Zhong stood up, and he turned his head too!

"Daughter-in-law! The sun is getting brighter! You go back and make food first! I'll do the rest!"

Qin Zhong looked at the sun, then looked at his hand holding the sickle, thought for a while, and decided not to be brave, he would suffer from heatstroke, faint, and delay Zhang Dahu!Qin Zhong returned to the tree beside the field and took a drink of water!Sit down for a while!Just got up and went back to cook!

When Qin Zhong came over with food, Zhang Dahu was still digging in the field to harvest! "Dahu! Dahu! Let's eat first!" Zhang Dahu returned to the tree after hearing the sound!Qin Zhong put cold well water in the bucket he brought, took out the food and water and put it aside, moistened the water with a towel and wiped Zhang Dahu's hands and face, "Daughter-in-law, why is it so troublesome to carry such a bucket of water?" Come!"

"You idiot! You don't know how to rest! I guess I'm coming soon, so you wait under the tree!" Qin Zhong threw the towel to him!

Zhang Dahu picked up a roujiamo and started to eat it, it's good to have a daughter-in-law! "This piece of land is the largest piece of land in our family. If it is finished today, there will be another piece of land next to the villagers, and we will have to collect it tomorrow!"

Qin Zhong watched Zhang Dahu eat, but he didn't have any appetite at all, just drink some water to be full! "Dahu, when I just came home, I saw mung beans planted in a field. They grew in a mess, and the mung beans burst out. No one harvested them. Who planted them!"

"Oh! That land used to be a wasteland. The mung beans were sprinkled there by the village doctor before, and they survived! They are public in the village. If anyone has heatstroke, they can touch some and go back to boil water to drink! Summer heat! It’s just that the stuff is difficult to cook, and the boiled water tastes very tasteless, and most of the family will eat melons in the summer heat!” Zhang Dahu has already eaten the second Roujiamo! "Oh! When I get home, I'll take you to the vegetable field to touch some melons!"

Qin Zhong thought, there are still people who think this mung bean is unpalatable!What a wonderful thing that is!Clear heat and relieve summer heat!Um!Go back later and pick some up, cook a mung bean and eat it!Seeing that Zhang Dahu was about to go down to the ground again after wiping his mouth after eating, he quickly grabbed him!

"What are you doing!"

"Let's go to the field after eating! This land has to be harvested today, and there is still work to be done!"

"Go to hell! Harvest the wheat in such a big sun! Sit down quickly!" Qin Zhong pulled Zhang Dahu to sit down, asking him to lean against the tree, "Sleep for me! Only when I tell you to get up can you get up !" Zhang Dahu closed his eyes happily and helplessly!

In the afternoon, Qin Zhong didn't cut the wheat any more, but moved the bundled ears of wheat to the donkey cart behind him!It was such a simple job that Qin Zhong walked with half bent waist!When I went back, I couldn't keep my eyes open while sitting on the donkey cart!I went back and took a hasty shower, then climbed onto the bed!Don't even eat!

The next day, Qin Zhong woke up early, but his body couldn't get up!Qin Zhong mocked secretly: If you can't lift your hands or shoulders, what kind of farmer are you?Sooner or later starve to death!When Qin Zhong gave up on himself, Zhang Dahu came in, with a bowl of porridge as usual, Zhang Dahu helped Qin Zhong up, and while serving him the porridge, he said, "Daughter-in-law! Don't go today!" "Go! Why don't you go I'm going! You look down on me!" Qin Zhong stared, he didn't want to be a waste who only eats!

"Daughter-in-law, just dry the wheat at home and deliver me lunch at noon! Seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable!" Zhang Dahu held the bowl steadily, but his voice trembled a little, "I married a wife for It hurts, it's not for work! You feel uncomfortable like this! Isn't it because I'm useless!" Qin Zhong heard the choked-up sound like crying sound coming from behind him, his heart was amused and moved!Patting his hand across his chest, "If you don't go, you won't go, what are you doing like this! You look like a bear, you really have a transparent little wife's heart!"

"You are the little daughter-in-law!" Zhang Dahu said!

"It's me, it's me! You go to work!" Qin Zhong drove Zhang Dahu out!

He said he wanted Qin Zhong to dry the wheat, but in fact Zhang Dahu had already dried the ears of wheat in the front yard, as long as Qin Zhong turned them over from time to time, the wheat grains could be broken out after drying!Qin Zhong flipped through it and felt nothing. He took vegetable leaves and fed them to the chickens. The chickens were half-grown chickens bought a few days ago. There were three hens and one rooster.They are usually placed in the yard, but today they are locked up because they need to dry the wheat!Carrying a cloth bag, I walked to the mung bean field I found yesterday, and I wanted to pick up some more. Today, Dahu is harvesting wheat in Datian. If others find it delicious and come to pick it up, there will be no more!Qin Zhong filled the cloth bag to about [-]% full before returning home!How come there are dozens of catties!Save some seeds and plant them yourself later, so don't come here to pick them up!

After returning home, I turned over the wheat in the yard, took some mung beans and soaked them in water first.Since Qin Zhong came to be the chef, Zhang Dahu built a shed by the side of the yard and made a simple stove for Qin Zhong to use!

Qin Zhong went into the storage room to see if there were any good materials that could be made. He turned over and found that there were only beans, potatoes, wax gourds, and pumpkins. There were some dry goods on the shelves, "Hey! What is this!" Qin Zhong was on the top I found several potted plants on the shelf, "What kind of potted plants! They are still bearing fruit, why are they placed here!" Qin Zhong took them down and found out!Whoa!Isn't this a tomato!Tomatoes are sunny, why put them here, Qin Zhong struggled to move the four pots of tomatoes to the wooden shelf under the window sill!The tomatoes were all bearing fruit, and they were so cute and red. Qin Zhong looked at them for a while, but didn't want to go back and look through them!If you eat fresh meat here, you have to buy it only if the butcher kills pigs!The usual meat dishes are nothing more than dried meat and fish!I don't know how to make it, but Qin Zhong doesn't like it very much anyway!Let's eat braised winter melon and scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch today!Just do what you want, Qin Zhong went to the storage room to get winter melon, but there were no shiitake mushrooms, so he took some dried mushrooms instead!Some green onions, ginger and garlic, the chickens at home haven't laid eggs yet, these eggs are all exchanged from neighbors!Get some more eggs!

Vegetables are easy to cook. Qin Zhong boiled the mung beans first, steamed rice on top of the mung bean soup, raised a few fires, and cut the vegetables on one side, cut the winter melon into cubes, carved a flower knife on the back, and used soy sauce to cook the vegetables. After applying the color, the color of the soy sauce here is much lighter than the modern soy sauce, so Qin Zhong applied it several times!Chopped dried mushrooms, green onion, ginger and garlic are ready!Then I cut three larger and redder tomatoes from a pot of tomatoes, washed them with water, held one in my mouth, and sliced ​​the two quickly!

When the smell of mung beans combined with the smell of rice came out, Qin Zhong lifted the lid of the pot. The rice on the upper layer was steaming, and the mung beans on the bottom were rolling. He stirred it with a spoon, and when he saw that the beans were all boiled, he sprinkled some sugar. , Take it out of the pot, put it in a big soup basin, put it in a basket, and hang it in the well to freeze!When washing the pots, Qin Zhong thought that he should buy a few more pots, why use the same pot for cooking and stir-frying!At that time, the guests at home will not win if they play tricks!

Qin Zhong stir-fried the two dishes deftly, thinking about it, he should eat with that idiot in the past!Same as yesterday, carry a bucket, half a bucket of cold well water in the bucket, with green beans and water sacs in it!People here drink well water and river water when they are thirsty from work. Even if there is no pollution here, eating raw water is easy to get sick, so Qin Zhong always boils the water and then eats it cold!There is another basket with vegetables, rice, bowls and chopsticks in the basket, afraid that Zhang Dahu will not have enough to eat, so he put a few more buns!Once everything is packed, let's go to the field!

Walking on the road, the daughters-in-law and girls of each family also sent food to the field, and everyone greeted politely!Qin Zhong is the most face-saving person, and he has always put on airs outside!It's just that here, Qin Zhong just keeps a respectful distance from what airs he has with some country girls!

When he got there, Zhang Dahu was already sitting under the shade of a smaller tree and waiting!There are also people sitting in the shade of the tree next to it, some of them are still in the field, and they come to rest when someone from home calls out!

"I said, why did Dahu take a break today, so he was waiting for his new wife to come over to deliver the meal! Dahu's family half-man, the meal was delivered early!" Someone next to him yelled!Qin Zhong just smiled, he didn't know until the third day that the man who married into the door was called Ban Lang!Half man is half man, it's better than a bunch of people calling Da Hu's wife!

Zhang Dahu obediently took what Qin Zhong was holding,

"Why don't you pick a bigger place!" Qin Zhong looked at the shade of a tree, which could fit two people!

"If you pick the big one, those people will come and sit with you!" Zhang Dahu said, stretching out his hand, thinking about Qin Zhong wiping his hands!Qin Zhong had a thin skin, and when he saw someone looking at him, he threw a towel to him, "Have you broken your hand? Wipe it yourself!"

Zhang Dahu wiped it a few times in a bored manner, and saw that Qin Zhong took the bowl, and instead of filling it with rice, he filled it with green rice paste, "What is this!"

"I can't kill you!" Qin Zhong sipped it!Um!It's delicious!It's just not iced enough, next time it needs to be iced for longer!Zhang Dahu drank two big bowls, "Daughter-in-law, this food is delicious, it is not very hungry! Let's eat this today!"

Qin Zhongfei rolled his eyes at him, and took out the food from the basket!

"Is there any meat to eat today! I don't eat, you eat, I just eat steamed buns!" Zhang Dahu drooled to get the steamed buns, and stretched his chopsticks towards the big piece of braised pork? !Qin Zhong slapped Dahu's hand holding the steamed bun, and served him a meal, "You are not allowed to eat steamed buns until today's meal is finished!"

"Mmm! Mmm! Meat is delicious!" Zhang Dahu has become a wild dog who only has food in his eyes!

"Hey! From Dahu's house, I didn't see the butcher saying he wanted to sell meat today! Where did you buy this meat!" As soon as Qin Zhong's food was brought out, the mouth of the people next to him also drooled, and it was tasteless to eat his own food. up!The exhausted ones have no meat to eat!When the man is dissatisfied, the wife is also bored, just ask Qin Zhong!

"It's meat! It's just winter melon! I haven't seen any butcher for several days!" Qin Zhong said!Zhang Dahu almost only stared at the pot of braised winter melon to eat, Qin Zhong ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and put some eggs in Zhang Dahu's bowl, no matter how delicious this winter melon is, it is also a vegetarian dish!Poor child, the wax gourd is eaten as meat, but he still can't eat it. Qin Zhong wonders if he can ask someone to go to the county town to buy some meat!

"Da Hu's is not interesting! It's obviously meat! You buy meat, you buy meat, what are you talking about winter melon! Winter melon can make meat taste!" The woman didn't believe it!

Qin Zhong smiled, "Sister-in-law Li, what did I lie to you for! It's winter melon, if you don't believe me, come and taste it!" When the woman came to pick it up, Zhang Dahu was protecting the bowl with a sad face, but he was still under Qin Zhong's high-pressure gaze. let it go! "It's my meat!"

"Be good! I'll buy meat for you tomorrow!" Qin Zhong was coaxing the child!

"Oh, it's really wax gourd, how did you make it! I tasted it as meat, and I didn't know it until I chewed it!" The woman from the Li family yelled, and the women and men next to her surrounded her! "No way! It looks like braised pork!" "No way! Winter melon can also taste like meat!" "My mother-in-law can only eat winter melon in soup!" People chattered in unison! "If you don't believe me, try it!" The woman from the Li family said bluntly!The people next to him were waiting for this sentence, and seven or eight pairs of chopsticks stretched out. Under the helpless and sad eyes of Qin Zhong and Zhang Dahu, the pot of winter melon was snatched away!

"Ha! The great craftsmanship of Dahu's family!" After eating, the people dispersed, leaving Qin Zhong alone to face the sad Zhang Dahu!

"My meat!"

"It's not meat! You pour the soup on the rice and eat it!" Qin Zhong mixed the rest of the vegetables and rice and poured them into Zhang Dahu's big bowl!With so many chopsticks, I lost my appetite!

"I want to eat meat!"

"I'll make it for you tomorrow! Finish your bowl now!"
